We should have a publicly/ground level funded Bitcoin organization by now that funds, builds and advances Bitcoin infrastructure. What's holding us back? Building DNS server networks, Building public node infra, Building data-only networks (no tokens). Have tools that have no business plan but high (use)ability.

If Satoshi would walk among us. He's probably be called a douchebag or a loser, by people trying to sell a middleman service or driving around in a sportscar paid by scamming users.

The tool I've been working on for over a year is now 90% done. The vital part howevy, will be to handle nostr and 3 other networks later on. It's hard, and most of the available tools are undocumented or not ready for real life use. We'll figure something out. Thinking of building a layer myself, which isn't that hard for pure data from A to B. Shitcoiners die that every day ;)

Whatever I create, build, release, make, write or try to get across... except for like 2 tot 5 people, no one gives a shit. While you see the most ridiculous people crawl on-stage and say things like "we solved scaling". Never thought I would be turned off by the bitcoin community as a whole. It's like standing at an industrial/noise concert... loving the music and raw energy of the music makers, but not connecting with the kind of people in the audience. Anywya, GN I've been depressed for weeks now, just building and geeting into the rabbithole of compression and encryption again. But I'll keep it for myself. No one gives a damn anyway. hope to travel and get away from whatever is holding me back because they can't stand whatever I do LZ|ᓡ嶢㡇䂬ྀ፨`ㆡأ奘㐥擔䭠ዠ㦲ì祏ᢴ͹ᖬ㡨Ð䰲拖䰠᭲戡⸡㙨HƼ桉㡵䖋䇩0䀪啟⠨氹ㆦ䧒◫Ҽݜ৖扲Øň䀠

Bitcoin DNS servers: payable with bitcoin, liquid, lightning access is worldwide, with servers in every major region (start with LatAm, EU, US, ASia, AFrica) - benefits: no filtering, nostr relays can all switch to it instead of dns from whatever datacenter or ISP - own rules and subdomains plus top-level domains possible - pubky integration (because pubky will need a dns solution too, unless they invented their own). what do you think?

I stopped running a node today. Because there's no use for it anymore in a Bitcoin world where nodes are a political statement, but bitcoiners don't actively support the community nor have activism. I build tools for cold storage and encryption. I'll leave the nodes to others who love yo buy gear and discuss spam.

Nostr needs its own DNS.

Serious question: If you use a hardware wallet regularly (let's say 5 times a month or more). Then I only see 2 possibilities: you're either in a business environment handling large sums of bitcoin (possibly in mutlisig). Or you're a shitcoiner having to sign smart contracts regularly for all your degen trades. right?

If all you do as a bitcoiner, is buying gear and hardware. Then you're part of the problem.

Apparently some shrewd "consultants" now charge 300$ and up for "offboarding" people from an exchange. That's... mind-boggling.

Fixed the NIP05 and LN zaps normally all should work fine again. 😉

The NIP05 "services" to verify yourself on nostr. Tested for you all (my personal findings... others may see it differently) nostrplebs: setup works, admin not, help/relay offline, expensive and crappy nostcheck.me : looks easy, is absolutely unusable for configuration (certainly when editing stuff), strange UI choices, very confusing bitcoinnostr.com : didn't work, directory listing doesn't work, no lighting address integration or forwarding, nothing worked; crappy iris.to : bugs and non-working website, logout/login doesn't work half of the time , unusable zaps.lol : worked straightforward, and all was fine withing 20 sec. works super fine the "guides" for self-hosting and setup are either offline, wrong, or don't list the proper details (example: "give your username". ... they don't specify what that exactly is... is it your alias before the @ and assumes the domain you're hosting the json on, or do you need to insert the whole address? No explanation , and you'll try and error and nothing works properly.

hey #nostrplebs ... to register some alias, we pay about 10k to 45k sats. ... the "service": - relay offline for weeks now - help page offline for weeks now as well https://help.nostrplebs.com/ - zaps don't work - link to verification how-to offline as well... dismal
